RISING STAR AWARD’S CEREMONY

WeAreTheCity are delighted to invite you to our Rising Star award’s ceremony.

Given the circumstances, the team at WeAreTheCity are having to do things a little differently with our awards this year. We will be holding a virtual awards evening for all winners, sponsors and judges on the evening of 30 July 2020.

Over the course of the awards ceremony, you will hear from inspirational speakers and entertainers who will all be endeavouring to create a truly magically experience for you all. We cannot give you the true physical experience of one of our award ceremonies, however what we have planned will be an evening to remember!

On each episode, industry luminaries shine a light on progress, call out areas requiring further focus and offer insights and best practice to help listeners drive change.

Throughout the evening you will not only be inspired by our amazing winners, you will also be joined by Sally Phillips, British comic actress and writer; Antigoni, singer-songwriter; and Southend Vox Choir. This is a celebration not to be missed.
